“I have a problem with writer/directors, personal. I can't work well with both of them on the set, if both of them are giving instructions. Writers tend to be in love with what they wrote. You can't always translate the words into the meaning, sometimes the meaning is better served without the words, difficult to make a writer to try to understand that. It gets, sometimes, tense.” IfsGivingTryingWellsI CanSometimesProblemDifficultDirectorsInstructionTranslateTenseGiving In Author:Morgan Freeman
